JERUSALEM COFFEE HOUSE - LETTERS FROM INDIA WITH "LONDON/SHIP LETTER" STEP-TYPE MARK; 1 July 1814 EL (chatty contents inc.mention of Lord Moira - the newly appointed Governor General of India - travelling up country by river with "near 900 boats"!) sent from "Calcutta" to "Jerusalem Coffee House, London" (to the "Surgeon of the H[onourable East India]. C[o.] S[hip]. Union"), endorsed "Per [Ship] Mary Ann" with mainly fine framed step-type "LONDON/SHIP LETTER" (scarce) on the front. Good example of the India connections of this elusive Coffee House. [Ex Cavendish 'Angus Parker' auction, Sept. 2009; ex lot 1253.]Cross Reference: COFFEE HOUSES, LONDON POSTAL HISTORY, SHIP LETTERS
